Carbimazole

Carbimazole is used to treat hyperthyroidism. It prevents the peroxidase enzyme from coupling and iodinating the tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin, hence reducing the T3/T4. more at Wikipedia

kerry59 (Graves' Disease)
I started on 30 mg a day 6 months ago and now on 10 mg. My thyroid levels have been in the normal range this last month but since it's dropped I have been feeling as though I've been hit by a truck and feeling really down with no motivation. When I mentioned this to my GP and Endo they both said that I should be feeling good and said for me to take vitamins.
